Kylie Jenner left former BFF Jordyn Woods a birthday message on Instagram Sept. 23, years after their friendship was complicated by a cheating scandal involving Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson.
Kylie Jenner is proving her friendship with Jordyn Woods is stronger than ever.
The Kardashians star celebrated her pal’s 27th birthday with a short and sweet shoutout on Instagram Sept. 23. After Jordyn posted a glammed up photo in a gold minidress with the caption “Chapter 27,” Kylie, also 27, commented, “hot !! happy birthday!!!!!!!!”
The subtle gesture comes as the former best friends have seemingly grown closer again following their 2019 falling out. At the time, Jordyn found herself tangled in a cheating scandal when reports surfaced that Khloe Kardashian’s then-boyfriend Tristan Thompson kissed her at a house party, leading Khloe to end the relationship—she and the NBA player later rekindled things before splitting for good in 2021—and Kylie to end the friendship.
Since then, the Kylie Cosmetics founder has taken steps to mend fences with her former bestie, who co-starred alongside her in the 2017 E! series Life of Kylie. The two were spotted together for the first time since the scandal on a dinner outing in Los Angeles in July 2023.
That same year, Kylie—who is mom to Stormi Webster, 6, and Aire Webster, 2, with ex Travis Scott—revealed that while she and Jordyn took a step back in their friendship, they never “fully cut each other off.”
Months later, Kylie described their present dynamic after another run-in at Paris Fashion Week.
“It was fun,” she told Khloe of the encounter on the May 30 episode of The Kardashians. “I think we have a lot more healthy distance in the relationship. Now it’s like, we talk once a month.”
As for Tristan—who shares daughter True Thompson, 6, and son Tatum Thompson, 2, with Khloe—he eventually took responsibility for the whole ordeal.
“You guys were two peas in a pod,” he told Kylie during a season four episode of the reality series. “So, the fact that I put myself and her in a situation that wasn’t right and wasn’t smart made it tough for you and Khloe. Because, at the end of the day, you have your best friend and then you have your sister, who you love more than anything else.”

From Day 1
Kylie and Jordyn began their friendship around 2012 and were almost inseparable. In 2019, they broke contact after it was revealed Jordyn had had an intimate encounter with Tristan Thompson while he was in a relationship with Kylie’s sister Khloe Kardashian. In July 2023, Kylie and Jordyn were photographed at dinner together in Los Angeles, marking their first public reunion since the cheating scandal broke.
Let’s look back at their friendship over the years:
“Get you a best friend that looks at you like this,” Jordyn once wrote alongside this Kodak moment between her and Kylie.
